Thomas1982 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hi all, I found this possible osteoderm on Venice Beach last month. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Definitely an osteoderm. Croc or gator would be the obvious guesses, but I really can't say from what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahnmut Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Hi Thomas 1982, this looks quite symmetrical to me, maybe a midline osteoderm?

Meganeura Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Looks Croc to me given the lack of the “spike” in the middle that Gators have. 1 1 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 If it's a crocodilian osteoderm at all, it must be pathological. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 It's not that big. Could it just be badly eroded ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
